Helitack Tower

Pitch 1: Start on the North arm of the dome tower. Scramble up to a ledge to an obvious bolt, start slab climbing in a corner system that arrives at a short handcrack (#2 useful, but not needed). Leave the crack and continue up the slab to a two bolt anchor. 5.9+ 100'

Pitch 2: Climb slab up into a wide chimney system, then traverse right on featureless slab to some 4th class slabs. Once the climbing gets easy, stay left on the ridge (not up the gully) to a three bolt anchor (this is also part of the rap route, come back to this point later). 130', 5.10+

Pitch intermediate: Walk (2nd class) south up the formation until you see a one bolt anchor down in a shallow gully at the base of the final tower pitch. Belay here. 80'

Pitch 3: Climb up the ramp on the right, then traverse left past two bolts (crux).  From here, climb up easy terrain to a ledge, then climb a corner past two bolts, then traverse left to the remainder of the fun face climbing. Arrive just below the summit formation at a three bolt anchor. 100' 5.10+

Rap: Rap P3 back to the one-bolt anchor in the gully, then walk back to the top of P2 anchor and rap down the east face (do not rap down P2, see overview pic). There will be another rap station 90' down the east face. Make another rap to the road (tie knots). One 70 meter rope required. All rap stations have chains.

Just through the pass after faux falls, the formation is on the left at the intersection. Park here and walk to the NW side of the formation to find the starting ramp. See overview pic.

Large rack of extendable draws. BD#2 (optional)
